Project Abstract

PROWIND (Positioning Relay over Wirelessly Networked Devices) is an Android messaging, mapping, and tracking app that integrates location information in the creation of the mesh topology in an ad hoc wireless network. The mesh infrastructure allows multi-hop communication among devices, a functionality usually lacking in ad hoc wireless networks due to the need for existing wireless access points and routers. PROWIND aims to improve upon the current system by introducing a more robust routing protocol , viz. OLSR, which has already been proven effective in other systems, and turn the entire system into a library usable by other applications. Research into newer tablet options will be conducted as well.
